As RichardM, from the N. | PGCE | 24/11/2023 |
From Kirton Lane to the N. Started at the bridleway with the tyres, over shallow ditch then wide track SSW / W to summit. No access issues. Partially landscaped coal mine spoil. Tracks through rough grass with copious weeds, high point on edge of wide track with views down on the dual pit head winding gear. | RichardM | 16/09/2023 |
By 87 bus from Doncaster. Straight up and down. | Moorponder | 08/09/2022 |
In early stages of being reclaimed by nature with a scattering of litter. Good views of colliery winding houses. | Nick Canute | 26/03/2022 |
Parked on a side road (SE 6578 1194). Signed RoW for a very distance before following a track up in SW direction, then headed W over long grass to pick up another wide track to the top overlooking old colliery bldgs and winding gear. | jonglew | 03/06/2021 |
Hatfield Colliery from GR: SE 65785 11944 | ronaldo333 | 07/07/2020 |
Up and down from Stainforth in 20 min. 2nd completion of Donnie Tumps | IanHHill | 30/06/2020 |
Didn't think I'd ever see winding gear again! | Wycombe Wanderer | 19/05/2020 |
Approached from the west as I travelled by train. Easy walk short cutting the roads by using old colliery roads and scrambler tracks. Colliery currently being decomissioned so workers about but completely ignored by them. | moorsman | 23/01/2020 |
Parked to the NE near start of bridleway SE658119. | David Evans | 06/01/2020 |
Parked at the tyres. Just as Judy and I got to the top the heavens opened with huge rain drops. | GordonAdshead | 02/08/2019 |
Very strange soft dust like ground between the tufts of grass | carole engel | 13/04/2019 |
Parked in Thorne and followed the Stainforth and Keadby Canal W. Headed S down to road and then followed track up from big tyres on to summit. | Wheelsy | 02/03/2019 |
Same route as others. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 28/12/2018 |
Aye Jimmy's tyres mention on the road to the north, very useful.up the track to east west track. Turn right to the summit at NW. Like many others, the third completion of this UA. Bonus of loads of shaggy ink caps. | vegibagger | 19/10/2018 |
As per CS - lot of hill been burnt and still smelt of smoke | Mark Sims | 06/09/2018 |
Sunny. | Dugswell2 | 01/09/2018 |
From North, initially along BW then uphill. 
Added a few stones to the small pile at HP. Interesting views with an energy generation theme, The old pit head close by, 3 power station cooling towers to the North and lots of wind turbines to the east. UA completion for the 3rd time. | PeterD | 15/08/2018 |
Thanks Aye Jimmy. | arranc | 12/08/2018 |
1st of a 3 tump foray to recompleted The South Pennines to Liverpool and Nottingham Topo section. I parked up on the road opposite the bridleway to the North and after a few metres veered off to climb direct, partly using track. Grass at the top is burnt, with some parts still smouldering. The local name, ASh Hill, appears very fitting today! I located NGthacks's stone collection. Good view down to the colliery. Re-traced route back to the car (borrowed today from my mum!). Next target: Barlow Mound. | Dazingdale | 05/08/2018 |
Easy win. Walked around edge of former colliery yard. | Ramblingpaul | 17/06/2018 |
Easy bag on a beautiful day. A sprinkling of small stones at the summit, which I made into a mini cairn. | ngthack | 27/05/2018 |
Parked in Mayfield Avenue and crossed over onto grassy Old spoil heap. Populated with house martins and skylarks, and this above the old pit head. Some good reclamation. | Campbell Singer | 22/05/2018 |
As per AJ, extensive view over colliery and continuing works - landscaping? | Bramley | 18/05/2018 |
From road to N of hill, very easy. Start at bridleway marked by huge old tyres. Track up hill then round to right. Summit at bend looking down on old colliery. | Aye Jimmy | 15/05/2018 |
Site has 3 summits The Main (NW) summit is at SE 65399 11652, 40m by GPS (Etrex) 
 
There's a lower minor low-prominence NE summit at SE 6603 1176 approx, partially vegetated. 
 
The S summit at SE 65884 11084 has a bare earth summit, methane vents suggesting former landfill, GPS (Garmin Etrex) suggests 31m P29m, with 2m col S side of railway at SE 65998 11482, with railway bridge nameplate Hugh Hill Lane possibly suggesting a name for the hill. Given some landscaping and a proper survey, this could be a Tump some day 
 
All three Hatfield summits are easily accessed from the N, Thorne Rd, with no fences or signs. The Hatfield Main headworks are still there (despite a move in 2015 to demolish them on safety grounds http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-34785700 ) - perhaps it will become a public park in due course. | RHW | 20/04/2018 |
